Xiong Huai was stunned when he heard this.

If the two hundred miles of land given to the crown prince still belong to the state of Chu, just like the Tang Mu land given to the prince by the state of Chu, you can only enjoy the food of the fief, but have no right to govern the fief.

This is too little help for the crown prince.

Once something happens, the crown prince can't directly transfer troops from the fiefdom.

Once the troops were transferred, it would become the Chu State's intervention in the Song State's internal affairs, not the Song State's civil war.

And if the prince Zhen does not have the support of the fief, it is like a broken arm, if the king of Song really wants to turn against the state of Chu and make up his mind to abolish the prince, I am afraid that the prince will have no power to resist.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai sighed faintly.

In the case that the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Wei have all gone to the opposite side of the Chu State, he will never pin the Song State, which is very important to the Chu State, on the father-son relationship of the Song King to the crown prince.

Especially when King Song had already revealed his intention to abolish the crown prince before.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai looked at Zuo Cheng hesitantly: "How did Xianqing reply to King Song?" ”

Zuo Chengying said: "The king, the minister said to the king of Song: The king is to repay his kindness, so naturally he really wants to give the land to the crown prince, and he definitely did not give the land to the prince, and the land still belongs to the Chu State." ”

Xiong Huai breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "What Xianqing said is extremely true, just two hundred miles away, and the widow still sent it. ”

Soon after Zuo Cheng returned, someone came to report: "The king, the crown prince is visiting." ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he said happily: "Spread it quickly!" ”

"Yui."

Soon, Xiong Huai saw Prince Zizhen walking in with a happy face, and knew that he had received the news of returning to the capital.

Sure enough, after the ceremony, the crown prince immediately thanked him and said: "The king, under the edict that my father has summoned Zhen back to the capital, I will leave for Shangqiu tomorrow, and I am here to thank the king today." ”

Saying that, the crown prince Zhen paused, then his face turned straight, and he saluted solemnly: "In addition, please rest assured that the king will return to Shangqiu after staying, and he will definitely expel Tian Buli and others from the Song Kingdom, and will not let the friendly relations between Chu and Song have any flaws." ”

"Good! The prince personally took action, and the widow was relieved. The widow believes that as long as there are no Qi people, the friendly relations between Chu and Song will be maintained for a long time. Xiong Huai smiled and nodded, this expulsion of Tian Buli was the condition for the Chu State to help the crown prince before.

The Song State has been vacillating between Qi and Chu in recent years, and not long ago, Tian Buli ruthlessly purged the pro-Chu faction, so that the influence of the Chu State on the Song State was greatly reduced.

Xiong Huai was worried that although the Song State had to fall to the Chu State under the strong pressure of the Chu State, it would be difficult for him to feel at ease if those pro-Qi factions were not eliminated for a day.

And the purge of the pro-Qi faction of the Song State is the internal affairs of the Song State, and it is difficult for the Chu State to directly intervene.

Now, sending the crown prince back to the capital is an opportunity for the Chu State to cleanse the Qi people of the Song State.

Originally, Xiong Huai was still a little worried, relying on the power of the crown prince alone, there may still be some difficulties, and the Chu State still needs to contribute, which will cause the King of Song to be displeased.

But now...

Xiong Huai thought of Yan Guolai, and couldn't help but smile, Tian Buli could only run away.

After a pause, Xiong Huai looked at the prince and said: "Prince, the widow is not worried about Tian Buli, and now the question that the widow is concerned about is, after the prince returns to the capital, who will the prince of Huaibei land let be stationed?" ”

The crown prince Zhen replied: "Please rest assured, the two hundred miles in the east have already pushed the general Zang Xin Huaibei to defend the north, and with the Tibetan general here, Sixi City will be able to maintain friendly relations with Huaiyin." ”

"It's General Zang, yes, yes." Xiong Huai nodded, Zang Xin and Prince Zhen have always been good friends, and they have always had a good relationship with the Chu State, with Zang Xin here, there will be no big problem in Sixi City.

Then, after seeing that the King of Chu had approved Zang Xin, the crown prince Zhen continued to speak: "As for the two hundred miles of land that the king gave to him..."

Saying that, Prince Zizhen couldn't help but hesitate a little when he looked at King Chu.

These two hundred miles of land are not a small place, although the king of Chu has opened his mouth to seal it to him, but this is just a reason for him to return to Shangqiu.

He is still self-aware of this, but he doesn't dare to swallow such a large territory directly.

Thinking about it, the crown prince arched his hand and said: "Although this is a fief under the country, but after all, it is the land of the Chu State, according to the rules of the Chu State, the feudal king's Ling Yin should be directly appointed by the king, so I hope that the king can appoint a Ling Yin to be fully responsible for the fief affairs." ”

Listening to the words of the crown prince, Xiong Huai smiled: "Prince, it is just that the king of Song suspects the intentions of the widow, why does the prince also suspect the intentions of the widow?" In order to repay the grace of saving lives, is it reluctant to be reluctant to live for two hundred miles? ”

"This..." Prince Zhen looked at King Chu in disbelief.

Xiong Huai laughed and said: "The widow said that he would send two hundred miles of land to repay the favor, then he will definitely send it, could it be that the prince thought that what the widow said before was just to send the prince back to the capital?" ”

"No!" Xiong Huai asked himself and replied: "It's true to send the prince back, and it's also true to send the land, these two hundred miles, the widow really wants to give it to the prince." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai saw the shocked look on the prince's face, smiled, and continued: "Prince, as for the candidate to guard the fiefdom, if there is no candidate for the prince, the widow can give the prince one." ”

"I wonder who the king wants?" Prince Zizhen asked suspiciously.

"It's not someone else, it's the prince's eldest son."

When the prince heard this, he was overjoyed.

If he was originally a little suspicious of King Chu's intentions, then now he is not worried at all.

Gongzifu is his eldest son, let Gongzifu guard the fiefdom of Huaibei and help Zang Xin in the east, so that he has no worries and can return to the capital boldly with confidence.

Originally, his greatest confidence was that he had been the crown prince for nearly thirty years, and he had a high reputation in the country, even if his father wanted to abolish him, he had to think twice.

Now, there are four hundred miles of Huaibei, so there is a foundation that is enough to protect his life, and his eldest son is in charge, so who would dare to attack him?

Even if it was his father, the king of the Song Kingdom, that would not work.

Thinking of this, the crown prince immediately bowed gratefully and said: "Thank you for the king's love, today's grace, there will be a good reward in the future!" ”

"Where, the prince is polite, what the widow wants, is just hoping that the two countries of Chu and Song will be friendly." Xiong Huai laughed.

When the crown prince heard this, he solemnly promised: "Please rest assured, as long as Zhen is still in the Song Kingdom, the friendship between Chu and Song will not be severed." ”

"Good!" Xiong Huai was overjoyed: "It's okay to be so widowed." ”

···

Then, the crown prince set off for the Song capital the next day, and arrived in Shangqiu three days later.

Then, on the second day of Prince Zhen's return to Shangqiu, a huge reversal activity was set off in the Song dynasty.

The prince's party, the pro-Chu faction of the Song State, and some ministers who had been dismissed and killed by Tian Buli before, contacted their friends one after another to attack Tian Buli's party.

For a while, the wind and tide of Song Guoguo surged, and the waves bloomed one after another, and they continued to rush towards the pro-Qi faction who guarded Tian Burude.

When Xiong Huai got the news that Tian Buli's wings were greatly damaged and that Song Guo was trying his best to insist, he was immediately relieved, and the strategic goal of going north to Huaishui this time was completely completed.

Next, it's to take a look at the current chaos that King Qi is facing...

Is it an encouragement to sustain it? Or is it easy to play? Or is it a mismatch?

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai set his sights on the north, the ability of this Qi kingland will determine the next foreign policy of the Chu State, how to adjust it.
